Supporters see them move. Everyone gets the same scenes as stills.
Supporter view
Battles run on Pokémon Showdown's engine and play out as game screens with HP bars and dialogue. Weaken a wild Pokémon to raise your catch odds, or challenge another trainer to a PvP duel.
Buy a rod and cast your line. The Old Rod only reels in common fish, and the Super Rod has a better shot at the rare ones.

Every spawn has a shiny chance, and it is the same chance for everyone.
Three tasks at a time, each paying ₽. If one doesn't suit you, reroll it. Finish all three and a new set shows up 12 hours later.
A chain of tasks with a reward at each stage. Mythicals never appear in the wild, so the last stage is the only way to catch one.
Darkrai's research opens the moment the Candy Jar reaches its first goal, so be sure to hit it as quick as possible! Once it's unlocked, it's unlocked for everyone forever!
List your spares or hunt for that perfect competitive mon on the cross-server market, or trade with other trainers in your server for Pokémon and ₽.
While it runs
Until Halloween night, fourteen Pokémon show up in costume for you to catch until the end of the event. There's a new bonus where you can Trick or Treat every day. You can also work as a community to fill up the Candy Jar with seven goals that each unlock a huge bonus. Lastly, you have a lantern of your own that unlocks some amazing bonuses, plus tons more!
Fourteen Pokémon are dressed up in their Halloween costumes and will appear in the wild until Halloween. They show up in the wild like anything else, and they will keep their costume even after the event. If you're lucky they show up shiny! You can trade and sell the costumes on the market, however they cannot be bred.
The Candy Jar has seven community goals. The first goal will gain you access to Darkrai's special research. After that, each goal will be rewarded to every trainer who added at least 10 pumpkins of their own, including the goals that landed before they joined, as long as they collect before the event ends. Only the next goal will show when the previous one is completed! Once a goal has been completed, it will be announced in the official server! Press Candy Jar on your Trick or Treat to see the goals and collect what you've earned.
Once per day, you can Trick or Treat. Use the command /trickortreat, or the pumpkin button on /daily! You will either receive a trick or a treat. A treat is three pumpkins that count towards the Candy Jar, getting you closer to that goal. A trick will reward you one pumpkin, and a wild Pokémon jumps out of the bag! However, if you catch the Pokémon from the trick it is worth three pumpkins. Every catch drops 2 pumpkins and every wild win drops 1, and a costumed catch drops extra! Pumpkins can't be traded, sold or spent. They fill the Candy Jar and your lantern, which will earn you many rewards! Not a supporter yet? Your first treat will come with a little extra surprise. Your cards will be animated for three days.
You also have your own rewards path from all the pumpkins you contributed. You can earn some amazing rewards you would not want to miss out on, so make sure to get your pumpkins! Press Your Lantern on the Candy Jar to see how far you've climbed and collect your rewards.
Press Trick or Treat on back-to-back days, and from the third day of your streak every press pays bonus pumpkins! Miss a day and the streak starts over. Every top.gg vote during the event also drops pumpkins in the Candy Jar, on top of what /vote already pays!
A new board on /leaderboard will show the Trainers who have caught the most Ghost and Dark types during the event. Ghost and Dark types also show up more often, so keep your eyes peeled!
There's a brand new research chain called The Long Night in /specialresearch too! Every stage gives you a costumed Pokémon, BUT be quick! It ends when the event is over!
Once you earn seven pumpkins you will unlock the Jack-o'-Lantern color for your cards, and it's yours to keep after the event! Pick it with 🎨 Card color on /stats. Supporters can pick it from the first day and you can earn it through the event! Go get those pumpkins!

Nothing here changes how the game plays. No better catch odds, no extra spawns, no coins, no Pokémon. What supporters get is cosmetic.
